need advice

ok i need advice my husband and i was talking about his poor communication skills because i left to go to the store and his friend from work was sitting on the couch and this hasnt been the first time this happened. so i asked him if he is still getting used to being married and he said yes because he doesnt feel like he shouldn't have to check in because that makes him feel like a kid. it just makes me a lil upset because i had to make alot of changes in my life for him and my daughter and i feel like hes not to that point yet any suggestions on what i should do.
